singles skin

[jukejohn]

would love to see a old style single skin something like the dwjukebox program offers but etouch could make
it look cool with the extras added

I know etouch is album based and you can set it up to play a single track but a old style
title strip layout would be cool maybe a image of artist/band on the strip

dam wish I could get the hang of skinning

Easy enough to do, even more simpler than doing it for everything. I am back skinning going to run with the idea I have at the moment. If you can include a screen shot of what you mean.

[jukejohn]

here you go mark just one of the skins
when you get chance go to dwjukebox they mainly set up for old style single jukes

Yeah saw that ages ago, let me finish this one first, see what you think, I am on a mission now.

rock on mate

[Mark Norville]

I was going to do different screens, but I am going to run with a basic theme, and then edit it maybe later on, otherwise I will be skinning it for years lol

This way will be a lot faster. (ISH)

I hope I'm not going to be a Debbie Downer now  but unless I'm missing something (like a setting in E-Touch etc.) I'm unsure how this could work without completely reorganising your music library.

From my limited understanding of E-Touch, you would need to place one song (or video) into it's own individual folder along with an accompanying cover.jpg, then tick the 'jump to play options on single track'  & do it that way.

Unless of course, you already have you music collection organised this way, then fair enough

It only takes two seconds when you know how, I am turning all my albums into singles. I will try and look at doing a guide and a video I can do a mini one now, although just a list of software

Files to folders
MP3 Tag
Tag Scanner

I have 20 mins to spare, share do a quick video for you.

well im a little ahead with that I did a singles collection ages ago when I used my etouch for singles only
and I must say was more of a enjoyable experience played a lot of stuff I would have missed on albums plus
im a lazy type so found it a smother way way of paging and browsing

you can use WinRAR to zip tracks set it to put into separate folders job done and maybe put artist or record image into folders which took the longest
to do but don't mind as its all part of this enjoyable amazing world of mp3 jukeboxs

[jukejohn]

cool vid mark I have been doing it the long way around ill do it that way from now on 

[Mark Norville]

Probably tomorrow now, I will write a guide on the settings I use. Berry does not realise there are short cuts if you play with the software.

135 tracks in less than 4 minutes, it can be faster than that as well, but was recording.
